CHESSNOID

I just went to Las Vegas to take care of some business. Of course, I try to get the best deal possible when I do visit. I checked out Hotwire.com, Priceline.com, and Exedia.com. I find these 3 sites generally have the cheapest prices. After getting an idea of what I want and how much I am willing to spend, I will go to the betterbidding.com site to see what I can really get.

I wound up bidding twice on priceline.com for a 4 star hotel for $40 a night. I wound up staying at Southpoint Hotel which is about 10 minutes from the strip. I checked on their site to see what the lowest prices for the same days and it they were $76 a night.

The hotel is easy to find off the freeway. After checking in we checked out the room. It exceeded our expectations. They gave us a funbook and we used some of the coupons. We used the 2 for 1 breakfast buffet coupon. The food choice was good and tasted great. I loaded up 2 plates of breakfast foods and was lucky not to get a stomach ache. That is the problem with all you can eat buffets, you wind up eating more than you want or should.

The other coupon I used was the free $25 slot play. You have to spend it all completely once–before you can cash in for real money.  I was up to $40  before cashing out at and netted $15 free money. I am not a gambler but I do like to get free money when I can get it.

They also had a bowling alley and a 12 screen theater inside. I checked both of them out and thought their bowling alley was very modern and their theater had first run movies and no different than any major chain.

Anyways, I would recommend staying at Southpoint Hotel.  Overall, very impressive for convenience and the many activities you can take advantage of.
